Can you rewind a DVD like you can a video cassette?
As the DVD is a disc, rather than a long stream of video tape, you can jump around to any part of the disc. You can jump straight to the beginning, to the place you stopped watching last time you used the disc, or to any particular scene on the disc. The Mac's DVD player lets you add your own bookmarks to a movie so that you can jump back to the particular part of the disc that you have marked.

How do you open and convert Z01 files?
A *.z01 file is part of a multi-part ZIP archive. This means that a big file (or several files) were zipped into several smaller files instead of just one.
What you need to do is download all of the related files. They will all have the same filename, with the extensions *.z01, *.z02, etc, and a *.zip file. You can tell which is the last of the numbered files because it will almost always be smaller than the others. So if you download the *.zip and *.z01 and *.z02 files, and they are all 50MB in size, and then you download the *.z03 file and it is 29MB, then you know that you have them all.
Once you have all of the related files, put them into the same folder and then proceed to unzip the one that ends in *.zip. It should automatically assemble the unzipped files using all of the parts.

The software itself is not illegal, however how the end user uses the software may be illegal.

Also, if you ever share the computer copy with someone, or upload to the internet through torrent sites or any other means, then that to is also illegal.

There is no one thing called a widget. The term is used generically like gadget or gizmo.
It's often used in an academic context, especially in business schools or economics classes. For example, an economics professor might talk to her students about "the supply and demand for widgets," or a marketing teacher might ask his students to develop "a plan for selling widgets." By using a generic term they keep their students from being distracted by the item itself.
AnswerI believe originally the term widget was used in reference to a device or article the name of which you had either forgotten or never knew in the first place. For example: In the English brewing industry the term widget is a applied to a small device found in cans of beer which make the beer froth in a similar fashion to beer pumped from a keg - it became known as a widget because no-one could think of any other name for it.
AnswerIn the brewing industry a widget is a small plastic or nylon device which has small holes in it and is bottled or caned inside the beer. Widgets then release small bubbles of nitrogen into the packaged beer when the container is opened.

Its synonymous with gadget/gizmo/doodad/contrivance/device.

Well, there are lot of options when it comes to external hard drives but I would suggest Buffalo Tech. Buffalo offers a wide variety of reliable solutions for all your portable storage and backup needs with compact hard drives or RAID systems with up to four separate hard drives. They have a lot of choices so everyone can find something to suit their needs and they have great prices. You should also look for esata if you have that port as it is around 6x faster than usb 2.0.
How do you network a USB printer to and Ethernet network?
No, you need a print server or you need to share the printer via a desktop computer in order to get connectivity over an Ethernet network with more than one client.
Hook the USB printer to one of computers and turn printer sharing ON in the System Preferences/Sharing/Services menu on the computer the printer is hooked to. Then you should be able to see it in the Print Menu under Shared Printers on the other computers. The down side is you have to keep the USB Printer/Computer on all the time in order to print to it. The other computers won't see the printer if the USB Printer/Computer is asleep. Keyspan.com, etc... has both the print servers you could use but make sure you read which one you need. They both do it different ways for different printers and usage.
By default Firefox lets websites block the context menu, but you can change this option easily. # Go to Tools > Options. # Go to the Content tab. # Here you'll see a lot of checkboxes. Look at the bottom one that says "Enable Javascript". Click the Advanced button next to it. # Now you've got a little window with even more checkboxes! There is one in there that says Disable or replace context menus. Uncheck this box. Try that context menu now! Yeah, they thought they could out-smart us, but Firefox rules again.

If there is some form of copy protection on the material downloaded from iTunes you can only use it on your own (authorised) computers - so you cannot give away copies to everybody you know. You can have up to 5 authorised computers. If you get a new computer but you have already used up your 5 allocations you will have to deauthorise an old computer before you can use the new one.
